Not the Editor to Fool With.

We dislike to discuss family matt >rs
IN our columns, as everybody knows
but the story JEFF Tarleton is telling
around town about our difficulty the
other night is lie such as nobody but
dirty coyote would be guilty OF. We
have heard of him and his casing at
Dan Geeghen's saloon. The facts are
that we told this red-headed slouch to
stop keeping company with Our daugh-
ter. When we returned home that
night about l l O'Clock we found him
just leaving our front porch. There
were words, and Wa will admit that we
called him a greasy tramp. Then he
made a pass for us and we grabbed
him by the whiskers, and when he
broke away we kicked him in the small
OF the back, and the only regret now
is that we did not break his backbone.
The lie that he tells is that we drew a
gun, which he snatched and then ran
us in the house. Nobody saw the
fracas, and OF course he can lie, but
John Hapgood, across the way, heard
the salute that we gave him as he
clawed the gravel down the street.
Don't come our way again, Jefferson.

A Beer-Drinking Rabbit,
sburc Commercial Gazette.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Michael Fry, at 4S7 Fifth avenue,
isagreat rabbit breeder andh as prob
ably not less that fifty rabbits.
Some OF them he allows to run through
his kitchen and cellar, and Fry was
astonished the other day to find that
one OF the "bonnies" had great pro-
i1ensity for lager beer. One of the
beer barrels III the cellar leaked, and
the little bonnie was observed to be
standing on his hind legs and sucking
the beverage from the barrel. Since
then Mr.. Ery and his children have
honored the animal and given it beer
often. 1t can now drink about ten or
fifteen saucers OF beer day, and has
never shown any signs OF being drunk,
nor does the beer seem to affect the
rabbit in any otner way. A rabbit
has hitherto never been known to be
q beer-drinker, and it appears that
this is the only one, as Mr.. Fry s
other rabbits don't touch it. Little
Bonnie never requires any coaXing to
take to the beaverage. As soon as q
cup or saucer is filled. put on the floor,
somebody calls: "Here Bonnie, is
your beer" the little animal at once
prcks up its ears, and espying the
drink, Immediately jumps toward it.
The saucer will be emptied in u few
minutes, and Bonnie lifts upits head,
looking at the donor with look that
evidently means 'more."

Secret of Hawthorne's Success.

In his charming lecture upon Haw

ney told OF the beautiful character OF
theman whose stories reflect thesweet-
n6sa Of his nature-the man whose
works stamp him pre-eminently the
first American novelist. He WAS ~
man who cared more for q few friends
than many acquaintance, and the
natural result was that he was not
appreciated by the many who did not
enjoy his friendship. A recent writer
to one OF the New York papers tells
the following story, which shows how
Hawthorne was regarded by the in
habitants OF Old Salem:
Among the gentlemen airing them
selves at the base of Bunker Hill mon
ument, one day, was one who enjoyed
baking and being talked to.
